This is a project I wrote the weekend of the Japan earthquake. http://tensecondstotokyo.com/ http://tensecondstotokyo.com/ I wanted to see what was happening in Japan live from the people who live there. I used node and socket.io to provide a realtime view of photos posted to Twitpic on Twitter. The server stores the last 100 photos found, so that's the max that are ever seen. Just a stream of photos. Other than a few friends at work and some folks at a node.js talk I gave a few weeks ago, no one else has seen this. Well, I did show it to Mikey from Instagram when I ran into him at a coffee shop. I'm also working on integrating Instagram's photos too, but haven't finished that yet. Couple of notes: 1) There's never been more than a handful of people accessing the site at a time, so I have no idea how well it will scale. There's almost no load, so I suspect it shouldn't be too much of a problem. 2) My url parsing regex fu needs some work. If you watch the stream with dev tools enabled, you'll see a number of 404s from Twitpic where non-existent photos are being accessed. Don't worry, these don't show up visually on the site though. Would love people's feedback, suggestions, and complaints. Especially from design-type folks. I'd like to give it a better look. Conact info: @geuis or geuis.teses@gmail.com
